Virtual Press Briefing Wednesday, April 28, 2021, at 12 p.m. Eastern

Immigrant rights advocates, along with deported community members and their families, will hold a virtual briefing to unveil a proposal for the Biden administration to establish a process to allow people who have been unjustly deported from the United States a chance to come home.

The briefing — hosted by the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), Ohio Immigrant Alliance, New York University Law School Immigrant Rights Clinic, and We Are Home Campaign — coincides with the release of NIJC’s new white paper, “A Chance to Come Home: A Roadmap to Bring Home the Unjustly Deported.” The paper proposes a centralized Department of Homeland Security office to consider requests from deported individuals seeking to reunite with their loved ones and communities in the United States.

WHAT: Advocates, along with deported individuals and their families, will brief press and allies on their proposed roadmap to welcome home the unjustly deported and explain why a centralized office to redress injustices in the system is needed.

WHO: Advocates from the National Immigrant Justice Center, Ohio Immigrant Alliance, New York University Law School Immigrant Rights Clinic, and We Are Home Campaign, as well as individuals who have been unjustly deported and their loved ones
